    If you don't like the Boston Brace have you looked at the Spinecor? It is good for small curves like yours and might be more comfortable....
    Why are you tired of wearing your brace?

      Thanxs 4 the reply...I am tired of it cuz I can't do as much things, I don't like having 2 keep track of the time I've had it off and have 2 put it back on, and I don't want people 2 know I have it.

        Sorry to hear you are tired of your brace. Have you looked at the Spinecor brace? There is a website. My daughter got one yesterday. No one can tell you are wearing the Spinecor brace and you can move around more easily in it than a hard brace. Maybe you could talk to your parents about this brace if you like the way it looks on the website?

            Ask your Doctor if a Providence Brace is right for you

            Hi ScoliosisGurl,

            My daughter is in a Providence brace. It takes sometime to get used to, but she only has to wear it at night, 8 to 10 hours. You may want to ask your Dr. if you could look into getting a Providence Brace. It is fairly new technology and has good results. (Just a thought.)

              Mine is currently working hard to hold my curve, and since it is doing a good job, I will not have to wear it to school in May. I am also very tired of mine, tired of being the only one with one, the only one who can't wear as tight of clothing.. don't worry, I know the feeling. Just keep wearing it like you should and it'll hopefully be over sometime soon. Good luck!
